LAYERED BUFFET SALAD 
2 sm. boxes pineapple-orange gelatin
1 c. boiling water
1 (No. 2) can drained crushed pineapple (save juice)
6 to 8 ice cubes
2 c. Cool Whip
1 (8 oz.) pkg. softened cream cheese
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 egg yolks
1/4 lb. finely shredded Cheddar cheese

LAYER I: Mix gelatin and boiling water; stir well until dissolved. Add pineapple and ice cubes, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove any remaining ice cubes. Chill.

LAYER II: Blend Cool Whip and cream cheese and spread over set Jello.

LAYER III: Mix sugar and flour together. Add egg yolks, lemon juice, and pineapple juice mixed with enough water to equal 1 cup. Stir well; cook over medium heat until thickened. Cool completely and spoon over cream cheese layer.

LAYER IV: Shredded Cheddar cheese.

NOTE: To save time, I make the third layer first and set aside to cool. Also I add the fourth layer just before I serve the dish because the cheese hardens quickly.

An all time favorite recipe. Buffet salad recipes such as this were popular in the 80's. You never see them in cookbooks today. This recipe is truly a treasure!
